Retail is $1500...Midwest shooters supply had one for $1410 I believe. I got this through a buddy for $1300. Not a HUGE deal but that 100 was useful for 5 boxes of ammo ;) I looked everywhere for a used one but the raptor models dont seem to be re-sold...which is another good/bad thing. Good knowing everyone must love them :) Bad cause I would have loved to find one for 1100 or something around that. I see alot of used Kimbers on gunbroker for 800-1000 but its mostly the same ones like customs and ultra carry models. All the others are new mostly that are priced the same as a shop you can drive to : /
